      ubuntu 20 = debian 11. Are the tools compatible?

      At blog you forgot the name of tools to install 😃 https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2023/12/15/rust-guest-tools-0-3-0/

        Fixed the blog post. Don't know for Ubuntu, only tested on Debian on my side (even Debian 11). It seems you have a 401 HTTP code on your side. Gitlab issue or network issue?

          @olivierlambert looks like network issue, but same task at same host\network etc updated all ubuntu 22 VMs.

            Yeah, I would say Gitlab access issue, for whatever reason 🤷 Wait a bit a retry later. We'll probably mirror it to provide a more available solution that Gitlab.

                  @olivierlambert same, 200. Probably it again cloudflare issues.

                      If installing on a machine that already had the old guest tools, is it necessary to uninstall them first (I would imagine so). How do you uninstall old guest tools?

                        @chrisfonte new tools will remove the old one during install.

                          Worked well for me with apt on virtualized Pop!_OS.

                              I also encountered this same issue with this on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS. Upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and re-enabling the repository resolved the issue.

                                Well it still don't work for ubuntu20.
                                Also i can't create Nexus proxy repo even for 22, with same error.
                                Looks like restrictions for some auth type. Because the repo is not accessible by direct link, i can't really check anything. Any ideas?

                                  I bet on a Gitlab hosting weird issue or something. You can download the package directly from here: https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/releases

                                  In your case: https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/jobs/5762006911/artifacts/raw/target/release/xen-guest-agent_0.3.0_amd64.deb?inline=false

                                      Successfully install tools on ubuntu 20 from deb packet.
                                      Ubuntu 18 need some dependencies: The following packages have unmet dependencies: xen-guest-agent : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.28) but 2.27-3ubuntu1.6 is to be installed
                                      libc6 is only available for ubuntu 20+ https://pkgs.org/search/?q=libc6

                                      So that some repo issues.

                                        Next release will be statically linked so it should solve the problem. However, our target is clearly modern distros initially 😉

                                          If we want to support Ubuntu release that are "out of standard support" but not yet EoL'd, this currently puts the oldest distro as 14.04 just for 3 months (where we're using Debian 10 currently), beating Debian 8 (released 15.04, in ELTS until June '25).

                                          But then Rust docker image for Debian 8 and 9 have long been unavailable from Docker hub, we'd have to switch to debian:8 and hope Rust will properly work there, in this platform they apparently do not support.

                                          But we already know at least clang is much too old to be able to build the tools, even in debian:9, see https://github.com/KyleMayes/clang-sys/issues/163#issuecomment-1875216165

                                          So supporting such old distros would need a significant investment.

                                          ydirson created this issue in KyleMayes/clang-sys

                                          closed "This crate only supports `libclang` 3.5 and later" with libclang 3.8 identified #163

                                            In Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20.04, what I see is on apt-get update on first run is:

                                             Certificate verification failed: The certificate is NOT trusted. The certificate issuer is unknown.  Could not handshake: Error in the certificate verification. [IP: 172.65.251.78 443]

                                            That would look like Gitlab current SSL certificates would be depending on a root CA that only appeared in newer distros?

                                            And on subsequent runs, then I start getting 401 replies as others reported.
